India's industrial output grows less than forecast

Help

The performance of the Indian economy is causing concern, with industrial output rising by less than expected in April.

Output rose by just 0.1% from a year earlier, much less than projected growth of 1.7%.

The result adds to concerns about the health of the country's economy.

International credit ratings agency, Standard and Poor's, has warned that India risks a downgrade because of its slowing economy, and also what it called political obstacles to reform.
